Continental Slope Experiment (CONSLEX) Data Set (1982-1983)
The data set comprises current velocity, hydrographic pressure and sea temperature measurements from the Scottish continental slope between August 1982 and June 1983. The instrument deployments, mainly current meter moorings, were made along a set of lines defined A-G across the Scottish continental slope (51 N - 63 N, 0 - 15 W). Current meters recorded horizontal currents, temperature and pressure, while six bottom-mounted pressure gauges were deployed at either end of each line. Four temporary tide gauges were also installed from Sligo (Ireland) to Shetland. The Continental Slope Experiment (CONSLEX) was designed to study water movements across the Scottish continental slope. CONSLEX was a collaborative exercise between the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences Wormley Laboratory (IOSW) and the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences Bidston Laboratory (IOSB) now collectively known as the National Oceanography Centre (NOC); the Scottish Marine Biological Association (SMBA), now known as the Scottish Marine Institute based at the Dunstaffnage Marine Laboratory (DML); the Scottish Office Agriculture and Fisheries Department (SOAFD), now known as Marine Scotland Aberdeen Marine Laboratory; and the Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Lowestoft Laboratory (MAFF), now known as the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS). The data are held at the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC).

BODC protocols are based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model enabling BODC to iterate towards compliance with the on-going evolution and development of community requirements including FAIR (Findable,Accessible,Interoperable,Reusable), TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.

This dataset was created by the organisations with the "originator" role in this metadata record following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for ingestion into one of the schemas of the National Oceanographic Database (NODB). During ingestion BODC undertake quality control, documentation and metadata enhancement procedures appropriate to the type of data. For an overview please see http://www.bodc.ac.uk/about/information_technology/data_processing_steps/. BODC supply full information about data collection, data processing and data quality with all data requests to enable users to assess data suitability themselves .
Instrument(s) used to collect data: sea level recorders; current meters; water body temperature sensor; thermistor chains.
